The world’s most irreverent co-op action adventure returns! In the next chapter of Magicka, players ascend from the ruins of Aldrheim to experience a Midgård almost wiped free of Wizards after the Wizard Wars, with the few that do remain having either gone mad or extremely hostile toward all others.

To rid the world of evil, again, up to four Wizards, and their guide Vlad, will traverse Midgård armed with the next iteration of the famous Magicka dynamic spellcasting system, as players reprise their roles as the most overpowered, unpredictably funny Wizards ever known to fantasy!

Learn to Spell Again... Again!
Ye olde hybrid elements Steam and Ice from Magicka 1 are back, joined by the brand new Poison! This means tons of new spells to cast at friends and foes - complete with larger explosions and greatly improved graphics!

Learn to Spell Again
As an all-powerful Wizard, you will have thousands of spells at your fingertips to experiment and defeat evil with, use them together with special Magicks to annihilate foes or give necessary aid to your companions.

Combine up to five elements at a time and work together with—or against—your friends for that full Magicka co-op experience.
Four Player Friendly Fire Compatible Co-op
Full co-op support! All levels and game modes in Magicka 2 will be supported for four player co-op with hot join, checkpoints, and other supportive features and functionality.
Friendly fire is always on, promoting emergent gameplay humor as players accidentally hurt or kill their friends in their attempts to annihilate enemies.

Be the Wizard You Want to Be!
With tons of robes, staffs, and weapons you can play as the robed Wizard of your choice to wreak havoc amongst hordes of fantasy creatures as you see fit. Magicka 2's dynamic spellcasting system can be used in many different ways, offering hours of experimentation for players to figure out which spells belong in their repertoire. Add both co-op and friendly fire on top of that and you have a recipe for hilarious disasters.

Replay the Next Chapter with Artifacts
Magicka 2 offers players a story-driven campaign mode set in a lush fantasy world influenced heavily by Nordic folklore. New to the franchise are "Artifacts," which act as different switches and options for players to customize and change the gameplay experience, adding more replayability when utilized.

Spiel ruiniert weil alte Prinzipen über den Haufen geschmissen worden. Wo sind all die Zauberkombinationen aus dem ersten Teil. Die Bildschirmführung im Koop zu 4t ist eine Katastrophe. Sobald einer aus dem Bild fliegt versucht die Bildschirmführung nachzuziehen dann können alle kaum etwas sehen und laufen in einen Abgrund oder so. Kauf euch den ersten Teil aber habt keine Erwartungen an diesen Teil. Es ist der größte scheiß. Es gibt noch zahlreiche Bugs die gar nicht genannt werden von mir weil das spiel einfach nur schlecht ist. Schlecht schlechter als Schlecht. Der größe Müll Kackhaufen den du dir je gesehen hast.

Wollte das Spiel mit Freunden zusammen spielen, aber man muss sich bei den Paradox Servers einen Account erstellen. Das ist auch kein Problem. DAS PROBLEM liegt daran, dass die Server seit langem OFFLINE sind und daher sämtliche Online Dienste nicht möglich sind.

Wer das Spiel also ONLINE Multiplayer spielen will ist hier falsch!!!!!

Dumbed down spell system with worse controls. Loved the first game and felt like it had actual balance. If I attempt to play solo in this it just swarms you while generally locking you in too small a space to maneuver . Used to be able to do a lot to help with this but everything has been made weaker. Which for some combos is fair but the fact that water doesnt even push people away anymore is dumb along with a lot of other design choices such as the overall level design. Really disappointed. Even gave the game a second shot after a few years and sadly its still just a sad shadow of the first one

I played a short bit of it after accidentally buying it from the magicka one collection, and thought 'Why not? I enjoyed the first game, surely they couldn't screw up that much.'

As it turns out, they could.

The terrain feels limited, enemies are faster while the movement is harder to control. Fire penetrates shielding very easily, Water shielding does not work, electric shielding does not prevent backlash... When shielding DOES work, I find that the healing as opposed to the immunity the first game offered... Sort of pointless? I guess it's NICE to be healed but i would trade it in a heartbeat for reliable temporary immunity to being set on fire.

Playing singleplayer felt like the game was constantly pushing me with a broom, urging me to keep going with a permanently revivable fairy. Death does not matter much here and I feel the game suffers for it.

The hotkeys system felt... Unneeded. Why is Push a spell now? Was charging an attack with nothing loaded not good enough anymore?

Enemies with shields I found particularly difficult to deal with, because I couldn't find a way to make the bastards drop the damn thing, and unless you're using pure electricity, or charging full rock, it's impossible to damage them through it.

All in all, I felt like while the game looks prettier and retains the same humor style it had, the magic from the first isn't there anymore.

This is by far the worst game concepts I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with. The manual for developing and building atomic weapons wasn't this convoluted. You need about twelve fingers on each hand, seven autonomous hands, and the patience of eight mothers with newborn triplets just to get through the first level. They couldn't pay me $4 to play it. Do not purchase.

Inferior to the original, the spells are in general less devastating, the character movement is far too slidy and floaty, status effects like being on fire deals way too much damage and doesn't give any feed back, deaths feel random and co-op is not as fun due to weaker spells over all, the emphasis on magickas over just regular spell casting compared to the first game makes it less satisfying. It's too much streamlining and balancing, the point of the original was to be a total crap shoot of over powered nonsense where you moved in a way that made sense and that you could control, the magickas were deliberately tricky to use as they were extremely powerful, they required practice and skill to pull off and even then you could still end up dead very easily, this encouraged use of more regular spells, mixing and matching the elements to cast your own custom spells that were very often more powerful but more unpredictable spells than the magickas this was what made the first game so great, but in magicka 2 it feels too floaty the hot keys you can assign magickas too make them cheap and easy and the abundance of magickas that all seem relatively equivalent with nothing special or ridiculous it all feels off.

It's not a terrible game, but I got bored very quickly. There's no challenge in the hardest mode, the modifiers just make it impossible to kill monsters unless you use the very few tricks that outdamage their passive healing, and the combat zones are so small that it's not even possible to kite or use terrain to your advantage, at least on KBM you can't move back while casting a laser, only forward.

Maybe if this game had WASD controls to move around it would help a little bit? IDK.

It is definitely a very unique spell caster, I don’t know any other games that are like it. The whole gameplay revolves around remembering spell combinations. You have 8 elements at your disposal and 3 different ways to cast them - ranged staff attack, apply to melee weapon or area of effect/self-cast. This offers you dozens and dozens of different spell possibilities. Throughout the short campaign you encounter enemies that have different weaknesses and resistances so remembering what to cast in the heat of the moment can be very challenging. Basically it all boils down to remembering a bunch of different 5 letter (or less) combinations and knowing when to perform them. It definitely takes quite a while getting used to since it is unlike anything out there and the muscle memory isn’t there.

Co-op is also a big part of the game and playing with friends can be a blast. Friendly fire is on so there will be lots of “accidental” team killings. It is also nice when there are multiple targets so you can take a breather in a fight.

The campaign is pretty short and can be completed within 6 hours. There are some additional game modes, challenges and difficulty modifiers if you care to commit more time to the game. For me, one playthrough was enough.

If you are looking for something different and short to enjoy with a group of friends, this game could be it. It is also very cheap when on sale for about $5. Worth a try!

Magicka is a wonderful game, it has me under its spell. You can feel how much love for detail was put into the game. I thank the developers for such a great indie game.

You can play the game wonderfully with friends and you have several hours of fun. The co-op story is created with much love to the detail and the craften of the spells is sufficiently complex to let the game not become boring.

The game is definitely worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone at any time.

The PROPER way to play
step one: max lightning
step two: area cast
step three: fry your entire friend group
step four: rinse
step five: attempt to repeat
step six: kill yourself with lightning because you rinsed and water + lightning = self damage
step seven: respawn
step eight: repeat until all enemies (and allies) are dead

It has nicer graphics, but is otherwise, all around inferior to Magicka 1.

Big issues:
-Changed the control scheme into something awful.
-The way the jokes are worse versions of the exact same jokes we have already seen.
-The new combat is not as fun, doesn't pack the same punch, feels mush.
-There is not support for high DPI displays. Subtitles get cut when running in 4k.
-Text boxes last forever and eat up most of the screen. (during combat)

Niggles:
-The annoying way it boots straight into story without letting us change the terrible audio/graphical defaults.
-The way it assumes you are using a controller.
-The audio mixing is by default way too loud. (had to the master lower to 2)

It's, sincerely, a disappointment. Since Magicka 1 was one of my favorite games ever. Hope they sometime decide to do Magicka 1 remastered with better netcode and UI scaling.

I wanted to like the game because of the magic system, however the game is mostly trivial with a few frustrating fights sprinkled in. Experimenting is fun within the system, and it is fun to use the water wall to bump people off the platform you are on, but there are only a few spells that are really viable. Anything coupled with death to make a beam is amazing. A rock-shield spell makes you basically invulnerable in most cases.A nice earth-fire-death spell to do AOE. These 3 spells render the game trivial. Sometimes you can combine death with a weakness of the enemy passed that nothing is that viable.

When you realize all you need to win is to keep moving and casting a handful of spells, then the only way the game can challenge you is punting you off platforms, and spamming spells at you. Tossing a few insta kills from melee opponents to boot. Maybe closing in on you with stuns/freezes, which are the aforementioned frustrating fights. The final boss fight is just a nice combination of all of the game's frustrating components, sans the punting you off of a cliff. It's a mostly boring game because of that.

I have still not found a game that is closely similar to Magicka 2. This game is very unique in its gameplay, where you combine elements to shoot spells at various enemies. The Co-op experience in this is imo the best out of all the games I have played (probably because of the friendly fire).

Play with friends to have a very memorable and funny experience which you will get in very few games.

I would not buy this is I were you, if only to teach a lesson to Paradox for wrecking Magicka 1 with buggy patches after the departure of the original Arrowhead developers, and changing the DLC policy for multiplayer right under the players' feet. They didn't bother to provide rollback betas, either, forcing players to follow a grueling manual process to go back to earlier versions if they want to play without the crashes.

Besides that... this game is shorter than Magicka 1, is not from the same developer and doesn't have its charm. You could argue that the controls are more streamlined, but the high chance of messing up was also part of the hilarity in coop, so even that is debatable.

Original Magicka was amazing, beautiful, fun and… had tons of bugs: crashes after dialogue scenes, crashes at loading screens, crashes in locations changes and magicka “Crash to desktop” also would work perfectly.

Magicka 2 is a great example of a sequel which took the best out of the prequel: the bugs were fixed, the balance of elements was settled, the humour and overall atmosphere is still there. As an example, all the time in Magicka I used QFASA but here due to different kinds of enemies and their different vulnerability you have to adapt your gameplay, have to run away, attack and then again runaway without forgetting to refresh your enemy-attacks-oriented-shield. The spells are not overpowered + there are some interesting combinations which you and your teammates could use in order to get maximum of damage dealing. So, it was really great to discover some combinations together and improve the damage done.

Magicka is one of that kind of games, where you can fully rely on your companion, however after a fight has ended, he will just murder you for no reason.

There are some changes in spells usage. The most remarkable is adding of a quick bar which allows to cast some Magicks instantly. I did read some complains about it, however, it is a really useful attribute in the game but more importantly it is not overpowered since you cannot have there all useful spells and you still need to press combinations by your own, slacker. Also, there is a cooldown, which does not allow you to use a spell from the quickbar for example immediately after revival, so you need to press the combination by your own. In addition, some enemies’ attacks increase the cooldown, so again go and learn the combinations [strike]or make a sticker with the commonly used ones and put it nearby the screen as I did.[/strike]

What I love about “bananas” mode is 300% addition to friendly fire.

There are three levels of difficulty. I would recommend starting with the normal one and then switch to bananas as completing bananas difficulty guarantee to get the achievement for hard difficulty. I hope that I don’t have to mention that this game is perfectly made for cooperation, so if you have a friend or even two or maybe three [strike]sobs introvertedly[/strike], invite them and enjoy the game.

Some little disadvantages:
• Importance of having an account in the developers’ website for multiplayer.
• Some of the achievements are given only to the host.
• The main campaign is way shorter than in original Magicka .
• The final boss. All the desyncs and timings make the boss more difficult and annoying than the mechanics itself.

Overall, Magicka 2 is a great game for cooperation and having fun. It resolved all the issues from Magicka and added some nice features.

TL;DR: An excellent game to play with a friend: funny, with satisfying gameplay and many opportunities to support… or blow apart each other.

Disclaimer: I have only played in 2-player remote co-op mode.

Storyline is not a strong point of Magicka 2. If conflict is at the core of any engaging story, this game has perhaps too many conflicts. However, any tensions between all the races and tribes are nothing compared to the universal dislike, fear or hatred the inhabitants of Midgård feel toward the wizards.

After a few minutes spent in the company of even just one wizard you will understand these feelings. Wizards seem friendly and loyal not just to each other, but to the common folk living in their land. That’s an illusion. Under the guise of saving the world, or even just protecting a village festival, they blindly blast away innocents, ruin livelyhoods and upset any order created since the ancient Wizard Wars.

Fortunately, you play as one of the wizards – you can burn, shock, freeze, bonk, disintegrate and generally destroy with impunity. Even on normal difficulty level you and your partner are the biggest danger to yourselves. Which is lucky again, because killing wizards is just as satisfying as killing goblins. While goblins just stay dead, you can revive your partner to have another try – and they will even thank you for it!

If you have played Magicka 1, you will enjoy this game too. If you haven’t – definitely start with the first one. Despite being more polished and closer to modern game design standards - or maybe because of it - Magicka 2 has lost some of the silly and absurd soul of its predecessor. Veterans of Magicka will find more of the nonsensical humor, but it won’t be as surprising and will catch you off-guard much less frequently. Spells and Magicks and the ability to quick-cast some Magicks are balanced to make the gameplay smoother, less frustrating and less likely to give you repetitive strain injury from pressing QFASA over and over again. If you think that’s less interesting or easier than Magicka 1, you will have to try higher difficulty modes. Fun (and your self-kill count) will skyrocket on bananas mode!

All these differences pale next to the technical improvement Magicka 2 makes over the first game. Magicka 2 is vastly superior in almost every technical aspect, to the point where you can actually complete the game in the first try, most of the time without crashes or disconnects! After completing both games twice, I still wish the content and mechanics of Magicka 1 were playable on Magicka 2’s technical foundation – with no random disconnects or crashes.

Highly recommended sequel to Magicka 1, now with 99% less bugs and 100% more self-kills!

This game is crazy. But also wonderful. I've heard great things about the original, but haven't played myself. It's cheap, you can play co-op up to 4 people, I can't think of another game with controls like this, and the way it mocks fantasy tropes is hilarious. the game has a great sense of humor. Also it's fully crossplatform; I'm playing on linux. What's not to like?

Overall I'd say this game was a fun yet flawed experience. It frustrates me to no end that such a unique concept is borderline wasted by this game's execution of it, and let me explain why:

It's an amazing idea to have players literally 'spell' out their spells to achieve slightly different effects with each unique combo, but the whopping eight basic elements each of which is assigned it's own key, and the occasional more complex 'combo element' which combines two more basic elements to form something unique makes this game nothing but confusing and hard to handle as you start playing.

The golden moments of this game are found right after that hour+ learning curve, when you become more comfortable with the mechanics and begin experimenting with different combos to find a collection of combinations which are a cut above the rest, achieving particular tasks better than most others ever could. This is the most fun you will have with this game.

The game takes a sudden dip after that moment however, when you've found the spell combinations that can carry you the rest of the game and there is no more experimenting to be done. The only catharsis remaining in the game at this point is the empty satisfaction of completely decimating even the hardest enemies in the game and completing the main story.

Maybe this game would be better played multiplayer, but if that's your plan you'd better get some friends to grab it too because the moment you step into a public lobby expect to find players with the objectively best spell combos in the game programmed into a macro bound to their scrollwheels.

In summary, prepare for a short-ish game with a long learning curve and flawed mechanics which ultimately work against your experience in the later stages of the game. Maybe not worth full price, but definitely worth considering on sale especially if you have friend(s) who either already own the game or are willing to buy it alongside you for a coop playthrough.

In my ongoing and likely futile effort to write a Steam review for every game in my library (#496 out of 640)... it's time for Magicka 2.

Look, I'll be honest here, Magicka is a chaotic co-op action game and that's just not my thing. From what I can tell, it's one of the more interesting games in this style out there, but it just doesn't possess any real staying power for me, personally. The action, simply put, is too chaotic – I find myself forced to focus so much on the controls that I lose sight of what's happening on-screen. This becomes especially frustrating when the action on-screen becomes so intense that the spell effects partially obfuscate the characters, foe and friend alike.

Which is a shame because Magicka 2 has a really interesting and unique combat system. You conjure up elemental orbs, which you can chain together, and then cast—either projecting the elemental energies outward, imbuing them into your weapon, or channeling them into your wizard's body. It's a nifty concept. My problem is that there's simply too much to think about—and maybe this is just an issue of learning curve—with eight possible elemental attributes available at any one moment... and an additional eight available in a secondary pallate accessed via a gamepad's trigger button. It takes some getting used to, and frankly I didn't have much inclination to devote the time I'd need to get used to it.

It's no mark against the game itself: I have little patience for multiplayer gameplay, and the single-player side of Magicka 2 isn't terribly compelling. There's a very simple story stringing together a set of fairly linear levels, told in a please-laugh-we-want-this-to-be-very-funny tone that failed to elicit so much as a smirk. It's just not enough. For co-op, I imagine there's a lot of fun to be had here, and honestly I think it's probably worth recommending for the mechanics alone, if only to demonstrate how it is, in fact, possible to conceive of a wizarding game without falling back on the old cliches of mana, memorization, or plodding, tactical planning.

Massive disappointment. It looks and runs better than the first one, but is significantly worse in every other way. As its own game, Magicka 2 is bland and has absolutely nothing interesting going for it. As a sequel to Magicka, it's insultingly bad.
Spells have been gutted and magicks are the only way to kill anything in a reasonable time. Most of the magicks are big flashy damage dealing spells and nearly all of them are terrible, but even the bad ones are still more useful than ordinary spells. This is true even if the enemy in question is weak to the spell you're using and resistant to your magick. THAT's how bad spells are now. To top it all off, you don't even need to remember the combos to cast magicks because there's a hotbar for them now, and manually casting them has a cooldown which ends up being longer than the hotbar cooldown once you get the right staff.
Another big problem is the fact that your enemies will always be right on top of you at all times. Even archers and wizards will get as close to you as possible before they attack (and sometimes they'll manage to miss even still), and enemies so clingy that they'll continue running into you while you're standing still. Most enemies are significantly faster than you, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that every single enemy in the game tries to stick as close to you as possible at all times. There's only a tiny handful of exceptions, of which all but two are bosses (and one of those is just so slow that they're effectively immobile anyway). In the first game, you had dozens of tools to keep your distance and get enemies away from you. In this one, none of them do anything to help. You will be swarmed constantly. Anything designed to prevent swarming or that requires you to keep your distance is 100% useless. You'll use your brainless AoE spam whether you like it or not. No fun allowed.
Oh also, it takes approximately 8 seconds for the camera to start moving at the same speed you move, and it slows down when you stop moving (and stops before it fully centers on you). Most of the time you're on the edge of the screen and whatever you're fighting isn't on screen at all. Also if you spend too much time at the edge of the screen or offscreen, you will randomly explode.

To everyone complaining about the servers, just make an account in your browser instead of in-game

After finishing the game I can conclude that Magicka 2 is an amazing sequel. It's almost as good as the first game, only sadly it's just shorter. Also I didn't really like the addition of making Magicks like ultimate abilities. But other than that, great game! Would recommend getting it and playing it with your friends.

I was incredibly fond of the first Magicka, and it was actually one of my favorite games on PC before the patch that caused its consistent crashing. I was glad to have Magicka 2 as a replacement, and I liked this game, but I recommend it with some caveats:

-It is incredibly and disappointingly short.
-The humor is still pretty great, but was significantly less than the first Magicka. Magicka 1 did not take itself seriously at all, but Magicka 2 actually felt weirdly serious and ominous at some points in a very out-of-character way.
-The lag was quite intense with average graphic settings.
-There were some unpalatable changes to gameplay: significant changes to how customization works, and removal of most all of the special and wacky weapons that you could find throughout the first game in exchange for more items and customization options that you could enter the game with.

On the plus side, they added a lot of customization options, and made some cool improvements to gameplay including the poison element, being able to move and fire (that one was a really huge plus), and some balancing and mechanical changes to how some spells and magicks worked.

I rate Magicka 2 a 3/5: an average to above average game. Because of it's amazing spell creation mechanics that it gets from its predecessor and the continued fun and good humor, it gets my recommendation. In all honesty, this game is disappointing compared to the original Magicka, but it is a good enough proxy considering the first Magicka no longer works properly. Keep an eye on system performance in your first hour and refund it if you can't get it to work acceptably for you.

An example of how a sense of humour can add to a game but also a perfect exemplar of game mechanics. You really do need to explore the combinations of spells and even when you're not quite sure, the accidents can be hilarious. Co-op friendly fire is the name of the game.

I feel like this game is only enjoyable with Custom Artifacts, and it's kind of grindy that you have to unlock some of them through trials and completing the main quest on a difficulty that is full of enemy HP sponges. Some of the achievements don't even make sense, like killing your friends 1000 times, what, at the cost of friendship? The story and mechanics are underwhelming, what is the point of using Water anyway? I was hoping to conjure chaos and wreak havoc with all kinds of spells, experimenting and working around elemental resistances in battle, but all of this is limited by a global cooldown called Focus, and the spells you create aren't very effective so you just spam something with Death in it, and I don't even recall ever having to place a Shield down because it's so god damn small, quick to disappear, and inefficient. The limited spellcasting mechanics make it feel like a chore to be a wizard.

On the plus side, there are some decent jokes, secrets and references in the game, drop-in multiplayer is an excellent feature, but at the end of the day, even with the cool graphics and quality-of-life features, the core gameplay, the meat of the game, just isn't all that fun.

I am a huge fan of Magicka 1. But this game feels way more clunky. The Fow is worse than Magicka 1 giving the game a very claustrophobic,also most of the combar consists of the game throwing a big number of enemies at you at once, often making it very difficult to move about the tiny arena area.

if give the game a 5/10 because it still has some good moments, and still has some of the humor from the first game.

Worse than the first game. It's honestly just how the combat works now. The first was janky and simple but wasn't hard to get used to and was a lot of fun in coop. This one feels so much worse, everything feels off and is more frustrating. You also slide around as if on ice even though you are not. Didn't get too far, just got bored beyond belief from this.

I think I am just a very odd gamer with odd obsessions about what I am as a Wizard.

In Magicka 1, me and my friends caused stupid destruction because the magick was DEADLY, and thus we killed enemies using all the wrong elements, win the battle, and still cause enough friendly fatalities to reach a K:D ratio of 1:1.
In Magicka 2 me and my online-compatriots spammed specials (plus what other preparatory elements) because the normal combos are...not quite effective, not until you have some serious practice. So you cast attack, get mobbed, die. Then you wait for revive. Rinse and Repeat.

If you have the friends to cover your mid-range, then this game is fantastic; if not, well practice helps, but not when full stun damage only applies to bombs/mines.

This review is based on a comparison of the first to the second game
Lacks features of the first one such as active abilities on staves and interesting swords with unique effects. Much shorter than original took about 5 hours to complete. shield spell felt lacking as it was made to only deflect beams from other wizards with which there were few making a single cast shield spell useless. In my opinion i felt that the quick cast and cool-downs took away from the game making it too easy to cast spells by having it instant and negating counter effects such as wet + lighting damage. The bosses were far too easy and not very interesting barring the last which was the only one that had any difficulty outside of just spamming lighting. Fewer bosses than the first by far. The overall spell catalogue featured less summons than the first and the spells were less interesting IMO. Melee felt completely pointless in this one as well excluding one enemy type which was weak against it but even still not worth. many of the levels felt repetitive as the enemy types were samey excluding the large tailed warriors and the burrowing electric things.

the positives were the introduction of the poison element + the cross beams in multiplayer creating the explosion. The addition of weaknesses such as steam on the crabs was funny, the humour was still their from the first one.

Overall if you haven't played the first one get that instead and if you have and just want more this is okay to play with friends but not worth it unless gotten cheap.

This is my first Steam recommendation for what i consider a hidden gem. I know I am probabbly late to the party, but this is trully great for a quick co-op session. Especially if you're into experimenting with spells a bit and don't mind a steeper learning curve than of a simple hack'n'slash or twin stick shooter.
